Northern Institute Gender Equity and Diversity Series

Northern Territory Insights: Gender equity and diversity in focus
This paper series on gender equity and diversity in the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia was
commissioned by the Northern Territory Government’s Office of Gender Equity and Diversity. The aim is
to bring attention to issues regarding gender equity, inequality, and diversity, to the public sphere to help
facilitate discussion, debate, and progress towards fuller equality for all people of the NT.

This series was commissioned by the Office as part of the NT Gender Equality Action Plan 2022-2025.
The Plan included the goal of raising community awareness about gender inequality in the NT.

The papers in this series bring together some of Australia’s leading academics on issues of gender equity
and diversity. But don’t worry, we have aimed to make them digestible. As well as including research
specifically for the NT, the papers incorporate learnings and lessons from research and evidence collected
from elsewhere that have been applied to the Territory context.
